thusia | That's it for now!

Who: Everyone
When: Day 112, late morning and on
Where: Headed Northward
What: A bit of normalcy

[Having switched routes from the preset course that was previously taking everyone southwest, the HQ now drifts steadily northward on manual navigation.

If one sticks their heads out onto the balcony and looks back, they can see the shape of a great feathered beast, her blue, green, and red feathers gleaming along a strangely serpentine body as she glides down on wings that dwarf the HQ. A few blasts of wind and a deep rumbling sound buffet the building, vibrating it a bit as she lands in the distance, followed by a haze of red shapes that rise off her and spread out over the area that the HQ once occupied.

There may be a tense moment while one waits to see if any of those red spots in the distance change course to pursue, but after maybe about half an hour of watching it becomes clear that for the time being none of those particular lizagons are interested.

The HQ drifts on, the jungle moving by below like a sea of green. It seems for now the HQ can finally have some peace. What will you do with the rest of the day?]

((ooc: A MINGLE TO BRING US BACK TO NORMAL PLAY. The HQ will be traveling at about 20-25 mph and take at least 4 or 5 IC days to clear the jungle, so in that time everyone is free to go back to regular posting! We'll be doing a more thorough summary and announcement stuff later on to catch everyone up to where we're at. Thanks to everyone who participated!))

[breathing... breathing... studying Cayden]

... I... yes... It's... you're really you?

Have you been hallucinating about me?

... She... used an illusion of you in danger...

I had wondered what she'd done to trick you.

[shifting up to take a knee head bowed]

... Will you still have me?

Of course.

[relaxing slightly and magical contract stuff goes here -- guess you're getting your tattoo back :|a]

[ Oh good I had missed that. ]

Do I still need to cancel out your last command?

[stares at the seals on Cayden's hands and closes his eyes]

... Yes.

[ Hmm... ]

I command you to disregard any and all previous commands given to you by your former master.

[BLINKS]

[BLIIIIIINKS]

[welp okay then :U -- also one of the sections of your seal just fuzzed out]

Did that work?

[open mouth close mouth]

Ah... better than I could have said, yes.

No homicidal tendencies?

None.

[ To Rider. ]

Thank you for sitting on him.

Of course. He is a splendid warrior, and I dislike seeing him brought down. Least of all for a mad child's lark.

[that awkward moment when you realize you left your lance in someone's abdomen]

Ah... Rider... could... you assist with my lance?

. . . ah. Yes. Where did that other fellow get off to?

[you know what? Fuck the gods for being on the fourth level when I'm on the third.

Which is to say, mage killer with a lance in his side has just been trying to get away and to stairs. you can imagine how difficult that is....]

Hmm . . .

[walking over, eyes hard for a long moment before he closes them briefly and kneels beside him]

Stop. Even you should know moving could sever an artery.

[hope you're not wanting a response because breathing is pretty hard and ragged by this point. face pale, maybe he'd go into shock if he weren't being a stubborn ass.

But looking over to, some apprehension in his expression since. well. heroic spirit was just trying to kill him and has no reason to want to help him]

[Kiritsugu being a stubborn ass isn't unusual, but there is KNIGHT stuff to deal with here. On the one hand, moving the lance is a bad idea, on the other, moving Kiritsugu with the lance still in him is a worse idea.]

Hold still. This will hurt unfortunately.

[leaning forward to grip the haft of Gae Dearg placing the other hand against Kiritsugu's stomach]

[........ oh no. no no no. this will definitely hurt.

and tensing will just make it worse, so trying very hard to keep still]
